So true! I was looking forward to drinking for the longest time. And as soon as I tried it…it sucked so bad 😭
The flavor, the effect, the culture around it…ugh. Not for me, thanks.

I know it wouldn’t go well with the existing culture around it but I am so incredibly for making it illegal for general grocery stores to sell any alcohol above 5%.
Alcohol is a drug. And drugs shouldn’t be available to anyone as readily as bread. Make it only be available to specialist stores and increase taxes on alcohol to hell and back! (unless it’s pure ethanol… Please leave some slack for us hobbyist chemists and tinkerers ;-;)
Vice taxes are a form of regressive taxation so I can’t say I’m with you there.
I mean I get your point but also it just introduces an inconvenience for normal people, and I don’t think it really decreases alcohol abuse. People who are genuine addicts will just go where the alcohol is, might as well make it easy for them to pick up the groceries at the same time, otherwise they might just not do that.
The point of making it harder to acquire is to prevent people who aren’t addicted from becoming addicted in the first place. Once people reach addiction status they will usually find a way to get ahold of supply even if barriers are in place
Okay but we know that addiction is a loneliness issue not really a substance issue. When people are isolated and repressed/suppressed, they are far more likely to get addicted. Community is the key, and of course it isn’t a panacea to addiction, but it sure does prevent a lot of it, and helps people out of it.
